Pluspunten

Adobe brand name in your resume and some nice chaps to work with. Salary and benefits are good.

Minpunten

Adobe Consulting or GDC jobs are mainly support roles with most of your day to day work involving troubleshooting adobe marketing cloud solutions so basically no strategic work for Business Consultants and no real dev work for Technical Consultants. If you are happy doing support roles and troubleshooting/implementing tools you might give it a shot. The other catch in the consulting roles are utilization goals which basically means you have to achieve around 420 hours of consulting every quarter no matter what the circumstances are which is linked to your variable pay. The management lives by the gospel of utilization goals and time sheets putting unnecessary pressure on employees. There were times when there were more pressure from the management to hit the utilization numbers rather than the client. The state of GDC is a well-known fact in Adobe with very high attrition rate and employee dissatisfaction. The higher management seems to have no vision or clue on how to fix this. Do not go by the brand name of Adobe do research about the role especially if it is in consulting or GDC before jumping into it as I have seen so many genuinely talented folks stuck here. I left within few months and trust me I had never felt so much better.

Pluspunten

* Refreshing focus on employee wellness * Brilliant colleagues * Compelling problems on interesting tools * Good work/life balance culture... generally (see cons) I've been at a few big tech companies and Adobe is one of my favorites. I feel empowered to make impactful changes here, I'm constantly stretching myself in fun ways, and the products we make are incredible. Product and engineering have big dreams, and all the resources we need to realize them.

Minpunten

* Big time crunch culture around arbitrary goals By far my biggest disappointment has been just how hard product pushes on big projects with arbitrary deadlines and difficult scope. It turns into cutting corners and delivering sub-par experiences even though we absolutely have the talent and capability to make some exceptional things if we just let the dang thing bake a few more months. I'd be more impressed with the tight clip if the goals were reasonable for good business reasons, but as far as I can tell the reason usually boils down to "some high-level manager wanted X and thought Y sounded like a good target date". * Comp growth leaves something to be desired. Raises feel pretty flat, though it's not the worst thing since stock rewards can be pretty good as appropriate for performance. Career progression is pretty good here too - I just find it odd how stale the base pay increases are year to year.
